Duck Dynasty finale ratings net a record 9.6 million viewers

April 25, 2013 Channel Guide Staff Reality TV 1

The Robertsons ended the season the way they started it, shattering ratings records for A&E.

Last night’s Duck Dynasty finale ratings set a record, having been watched by 9.6 million total viewers, a record for the network, and also scored records in all of the key demographics. For the season, Duck Dynasty averaged 8.4 million total viewers, an astonishing 95 percent increase from Season 2. Overall it’s cable’s No. 1 nonfiction series this year, and No. 2 original series trailing only AMC’s The Walking Dead.

Despite reports of A&E hitting a snag with the cast over salary negotiations, the network said in a press release today that Season 4 will begin production shortly for a premiere later this year.

The hour-long finale, “Aloha, Robertsons!” saw the Louisiana family head to Hawaii for vacation.

Air travel and 9/11 … are some networks taking advantage?

September 9, 2011 Channel Guide Staff Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Movies Comments Off on Air travel and 9/11 … are some networks taking advantage?

by Karl J. Paloucek Follow @ChannelGuide I’ve been accused of a number of things in my lifetime, and if there’s one thing I have to cop to, it’s confusing people at times as to whether I’m serious or joking. In truth, sometimes I’m not even sure. Sometimes a topic has sufficient irony to lend itself to being oddly humorous and at the same time, it might not be appropriately timed for humor. I’m not even sure that what I want to discuss here is one of those topics, but consider yourselves forewarned — I feel like it’s gonna be one […]

A&E’s 60 Days In “Fight Face” recap: It’s been 10 o’clock for seven years

March 24, 2016 Ryan Berenz Reality TV, Recap, TV News & Program Updates 3

It’s just another beautiful day in the Clark County Jail, brought to you by the well-intentioned but foolhardy cast of A&E’s 60 Days In. In economic news today, Forbes reports that it’s still MOB: Money Over Bitches!! Read more of our 60 Days In recaps here! It’s Episode 4 of 60 Days In, and the show has really hit its stride with “Fight Face.” I no longer care that Robert is probably an actor planted in the cast.

Longmire recap: “Carcasses”

June 3, 2013 Channel Guide Staff Drama Comments Off on Longmire recap: “Carcasses”

It’s not often you can link Latin and turducken into a murder mystery, but this week’s episode of Longmire — the splendidly titled “Carcasses” — does so within the first few minutes. OK, so now we know why we love this show; let’s find out what happened. It starts out as so many Longmire hours do, with a quiet, serene drive along the roads of Absaroka County, Wyo., when all of a sudden death intervenes. This time it’s a lady named Holly who earns what is apparently a good living collecting animal carcasses off the road and putting them in […]
